Elon Musk disclosed Apple's aggressive attempts to poach Tesla employees during the peak of its electric car program, Project Titan. Apple recruiters reportedly offered double salaries upfront, bypassing interviews entirely. The tactic became so pervasive that Tesla engineers disconnected their phones to avoid relentless recruitment calls.

Musk described this as the "Tesla pixie dust" phenomenon—competitors believing Tesla's talent alone could guarantee their success. Silicon Valley's dense job market exacerbated the issue, allowing employees to switch companies without relocating. Apple's decade-long car project ultimately failed to materialize, while Tesla solidified its EV dominance.
